2. PRINTING MACHINE IN WHICH SEVERAL CHARACTERS, OF DIFFERENT CASES, CAN BE PRINTED SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SPACES ARE PROVIDED AT DISTINCT PRINTING POINTS DISPOSED SUCCESSIVELY IN THE WRITING DIRECTION, COMPRISING A MOBILE CARRIAGE, A KEYBOARD COMPRISING TYPE KEYS AND FUNCTION KEYS, TYPE BARS OPERATED BY THE TYPE KEYS, EACH OF THE TYPE BARS COMPRISING ANY NUMBER OF CASES, AND, IN EACH CASE, ANY NUMBER OF CHARACTERS, THE TYPE BARS BEING DISTRIBUTED OVER SEVERAL GROUPS EACH HAVING A DISTINCT PRINTING POINT, THE PRINTING POINTS OF THE DIFFERENT GROUPS BEING DISPOSED SUCCESSIVELY IN THE WRITING DIRECTION IN THE ORDER OF THE GROUPS, A FIRST COMBINATION OF SINGLE TYPE KEYS EACH OPERATING ONE TYPE BAR ONLY, A SECOND COMBINATION OF DUAL TYPE KEYS EACH OPERATING TWO TYPE BARS, SOME OF THE SINGLE KEYS AND OF THE DUAL KEYS BEING DISPOSED ACCORDING TO A MATRIX CONSTITUTED BY COLUMNS AND LINES MAKING BETWEEN THEMSELVES ANY ANGLE, SEVERAL DUAL KEYS OF THE SAME COLUMN OPERATING ONE SINGLE TYPE BAR BELONGING TO THE FIRST GROUP OF TYPE BARS, SEVERAL DUAL KEYS OF THE SAME LINE OPERATING ONE SINGLE TYPE BAR BELONGING TO THE SECOND GROUP OF TYPE BARS, WHOSE PRINTING POINT IS IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THAT OF THE TYPE BARS OF THE FIRST GROUP, SO THAT EACH DUAL KEY DISPOSED AT THE INTERSECTION OF ANY COLUMN AND LINE SIMULTANEOUSLY OPERATES TWO TYPE BARS THE ONE CORRESPONDING TO SEVERAL KEYS OF THE COLUMN AND THE OTHER CORRESPONDING TO SEVERAL KEYS OF THE LINE AND SO THAT THIS KEY CONSEQUENTLY CONTROLS THE SIMULTANEOUS PRINTING OF TWO CHARACTERS AT ADJOINING PRINTING POINTS, THE TYPE BAR OF THE FIRST GROUP OPERATED BY SEVERAL DUAL KEYS OF A GIVEN COLUMN BEING ALSO OPERATED BY A SINGLE KEY LOCATED IN THE SAME COLUMN, THE TYPE BAR OF THE SECOND GROUP OPERATED BY SEVERAL DUAL KEYS OF A GIVEN LINE BEING ALSO OPERATED BY A SINGLE KEY LOCATED IN THE SAME LINE, THE MACHINE COMPRISING ALSO MEANS FOR MODIFYING SELECTIVELY THE CASE POSITION OF THE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF TYPE BARS, EACH INDEPENDENTLY OF THE OTHERS, SO AS TO PRINT SIMULTANEOUSLY CHARACTERS OF DIFFERENT CASES LOCATED ON TYPE BARS BELONGING TO DIFFERENT GROUPS, AND FINALLY MEANS FOR PRODUCING A CARRIAGE DISPLACEMENT WHOSE AMPLITUDE IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS PRINTED SIMULTANEOUSLY AUGMENTED BY THE NUMBER OF BLANK SPACES PROVIDED BEFORE, BETWEEN OR AFTER THE PRINTED CHARACTERS.
